What is Pico Spot ?
High-power lasers are emitted at a frequency of once every trillionth of a second, breaking down melanin through photoacoustic effects rather than heat.
As a result, it is recognized as a treatment that can pinpoint and remove blemishes of concern on the face and body while reducing damage to the skin.
Our Pico-Laser
We have introduced PicoWay, a medical skin laser manufactured by Syneron-Candera, Inc.
The conventional Q-switched laser has an irradiation time of nanoseconds (1.0 billion).
Conventional Q-switched lasers have an irradiation time of nanoseconds (one billionth of a second),
PicoWay can oscillate in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second), whereas conventional Q-switched lasers oscillate in nanoseconds (one billionth of a second).
The short irradiation time reduces heat generation and skin damage.
This laser device has been approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) and by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
At our clinic, two types of laser wavelengths, 1,064nm and 532nm, can be used to treat various types of skin.
The physician selects the wavelength while observing the condition of the spots and performs the treatment.

Pico spot effect
It reacts with the melanin pigment in the skin and crushes the melanin pigment.
Therefore, it reacts to pigmentation called blotches and can be expected to have a colorless effect.
Because it reacts with the melanin pigment, some people may feel as if the color has temporarily darkened.

Features of Pico Spot
-
POINT
1Less painWhen a laser is irradiated, heat is generated, affecting the surrounding tissues and causing pain.
The picolaser has a very short irradiation time of picoseconds, which means less heat damage, resulting in less pain and gentler treatment of the skin.
-
POINT
2Effects can be realized with a small number of treatmentsCompared to conventional lasers, the pico laser can fragment pigment particles into smaller particles.
The finely fragmented pigments are more easily metabolized and excreted, thus allowing for improvement with fewer treatment sessions.
-
POINT
3Less scab formation, less risk of pigmentationThe irradiation is performed with a weaker output and shorter pulse width than conventional irradiation, which is gentler on the skin and allows for speedy treatment.
By spot irradiation, high results can be expected with a small number of irradiations.In addition, since the melanin pigment is destroyed by shock waves rather than heat, surrounding cells are less likely to be damaged, and only the targeted melanin pigment is destroyed, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and preventing scabs from forming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q
Is there any pain or downtime?
Q
Is there any pain or downtime?
A
The pain is like being popped with a rubber band. After the procedure, you may experience pain, purpura (bleeding), itching, pigmentation, and loss of pigmentation.
You will be asked to wear aftercare tape for 1-2 weeks after the procedure.
You will be asked to wear aftercare tape for 1-2 weeks after the procedure.
Q
Is there a possibility of symptom recurrence?
Q
Is there a possibility of symptom recurrence?
A
Symptoms may recur, but ongoing treatment can reduce the risk.
Q
When can I start wearing makeup?
Q
When can I start wearing makeup?
A
The patient can start on the day of treatment, but we recommend that the patient refrains from any activities that may cause strong irritation.
We recommend that you avoid such activities for 2 to 3 days if it does not interfere with the treatment.
We recommend that you avoid such activities for 2 to 3 days if it does not interfere with the treatment.
Q
Is there any downtime?
Q
Is there any downtime?
A
The redness will continue for several hours. The scab that forms peels off in about a few days.
Q
Is there anything I should be aware of after treatment?
Q
Is there anything I should be aware of after treatment?
A
After treatment, the skin is more susceptible to the effects of ultraviolet rays, so we strongly recommend that you take adequate measures to protect yourself from UV rays. If you sunbathe after treatment, there is a risk of burns on the irradiated area and further darkening of the spots.
